Another nice paint job from Bill
Zegers. Window masks and window-molding decals make it easy to style
out the shell.

UNDER THE HOOD

Raceable rubber
We understand the entire
“Racers want to choose
their own tires” rationale for
omitting tires from a kit, but
it’s always nice to get a set
of sneakers in the box even if
they’re only good for practice.
In the case of the GV2, you get
a pretty good set of tires. They
won’t be ideal for every track, but
the Holeshot-like tread and supple
rubber of Academy’s home-grown
Fusion tires are pretty darn good. Plain
foam inserts are supplied, and direc-tional-rib front tires do the steering.

Academy’s Fusion tires are fit for the
track, just add glue.

The GV2 shows its race-ready
stance. Note that the motor guard
extends to protect the endbell.
